Da Milano worked for the papal court for almost all of his career. Da Milano was heralded throughout Europe as the foremost lute composer of his time And he was at the forefront of the musicians who established the lute as a vehicle for polyphonic composition in the early 16th century of the Italian Renaissance. His music represents the transition from the loose improvisational style of his predecessors to the more refined polyphonic textures of later lute music. Recommended for Intermediate and Advanced Performers About Michael P Walker I studied guitar at Birmingham-Southern College under David Walpert who was a student of Andre Segovia and I have been playing guitar, ukulele, Baroque guitar, and the lute for more than fifty years. I have transcribed these compositions with the hope of exposing this rich, beautiful music to a wider audience of guitar and ukulele players
